The Complete Outfit
Damson Idris, a Prada house ambassador, wore an all-leather custom ensemble to the 2026 Met Gala. The outfit consisted of a black leather coat featuring red poplin tuxedo cuff detailing as the statement piece, paired with an antiqued red leather top, black leather trousers, and matching black lace-up derby shoes. He completed the look with gold jewelry including earring studs and gold rings.
The Signature Jewelry Piece
Idris wore a custom one-of-a-kind piece from his fine jewelry brand DIDRIS: the Rainbow Maxi Necklace. Crafted with an 18-karat gold trace chain, the necklace was set with 18 different precious and semi-precious stones and was designed by Idris himself. This jewelry piece reflected his personal involvement in styling his own looks.
The Designer Connection
As a Prada house ambassador, Idris has a longstanding relationship with the Italian luxury brand. He explained that the first designer shoes he ever bought were Prada, making the connection between himself and the house seamless. His custom Prada pieces for the Met Gala reflected this partnership.
Idris's Met Gala History
The Met Gala red carpet holds special significance for Idris. He has previously introduced pieces from his DIDRIS jewelry line at the event, including a set of brooches resembling a pocket watch featuring an 11-carat emerald surrounded by 18 channel-cut tourmalines and 238 tsavorites and diamonds from the prior year.
